Hi!.  
Is there a way to call to another controller with link\_to\_remote?  
Something like this:  
\<%= link\_to\_remote “Tests”, {  
:controller =\> “tests”,  
:action =\> “tester”  
}  
%\>

Salu2…

explain better…

you can specify the controller you want on :controller =\> ‘something’  
or do you want to call two controllers?

Right, i used :controller =\> “Tests”, but it doesn’t work. The html  
result is :  
\<a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Request(’/test/tester’,----  
is it right?  
Because it never call to tests controller.

how do you know your controller never gets called?

what do you have on the ‘tester’ action on the tests\_controller.rb?

when you use link\_to\_remote you make a ajax call, is this what you want?
